A steel rod, is 15 m long at temperature of 10˚F. Find its change in length as the temperature changes from 10˚F to 45˚F.
12 mm
5.8 mm
0.33 mm
0.58 mm
3.3 mm
the change in length is given by this formula when the the there change in the temperature. The alpha here is coefficient of linear expansion. And for steel it is °C. 10°F = -12.22°C and 45°F = 7.22°C
So = 3.49mm.
Hence only possibility could be of last option.
*i have taken the standard value of Coefficient of linear expansion (alpha) for steel from internet . That's why there's little mismatch in numerical value of the Answer.
